Damn hearing isn’t what it used to be and my eyesight must be failing too as I’m sure these political promissory notions were shouted from the rooftops and exist somewhere in print. (No doubt soon to be blacked out by the CIA in all pertinent documents).

This situation must be fallout from the auto industries failure.
Our chief in charge of government sanitation has opted to get behind the wheel of the same steaming pile of crap his successor created, refuse to check the load or under the hood, and is hell bent to drive us off the cliff of Moral Ethics in government.

Now that’s some kinda change. HACK!

I think what most complaints revolve around thus far with Obama’s few weeks in office is that everybody has an opinion about the time-tables…or priorities that Obama has placed on achieving some positive actions or results for some of the most diffcult tasks in our nation’s history.

I’ve ranted and raved about Obama’s choices for his Cabinet posts. Actually, I’ve criticized him in so many ways, I can’t count at them all at the moment.

But, with all he has going on with the economy…which was something Bush sure as hell didn’t do anything about in his departing days…how in the hell can, or better yet, why would Obama even want to try formulate knee-jerk-overnight-solutions regarding policies related to very complex problems associated with the two wars that are blazing? We have tens of thousands of troops whose lives are at stake.

Don’t get me wrong, I would like to see expedient action taken on a number of points that Doug posted.

But, the president doesn’t have enough hours in a day to take on all that’s emerged since he announced running for president.

I do have to give thanks to the Universe that McCain isn’t in the presidency. Bagezzzzus, what a hell of a mess that we all would be in. We would all want to move to China.

My unsolicited advice is for folks to simply prepare themselves on an individual basis for their ultimate survival in the seemingly grim times to come.

Our two-party duopolistic system is summarily broken and I see no way of fixing it shy of outright revolution. The ballot box doesn’t have the power to change things when both sides of the political equation ultimately report to the same shadowy controllers; ie., Bilderbergers, Tri-Laterals, CFR’s, the foundations, corporations et al. all facilitated through their deep pocket lobbyists and high level contacts. The press in this country and the world at large has been compromised for a long time and this being the case will ensure that “we the people” will always lose at this game as it seems so now.

Our new president doesn’t seem to realize that simply delegating authority to a bunch of former insiders who all in some way have been instrumental in our national demise will not implement change.

Supposedly he made 510 promises on the campaign trail; far too many as far as I’m concerned. In order for him to accomplish the greater majority of them, then he’ll have to micro-manage the details of government which would be a daunting task especially since he would have to massage so many different personas to get them to cooperate. Here’s a link to site that is keeping track of his campaign promises to date.

Quite possibly President Obama is basically a good man who sees infinite possibilities for America; ie., an idealist who wants “team players” at his side and has high hopes of achieving his goals. The shadowy movers and shakers evidently groom people like him so they can inject them into the political scene for holding action purposes until their flagship party; ie., the Republicans can make it back to the White House. I believe President Jimmy Carter is an example of this phenomenon.

I’m not looking for him to fail, but it seems on some of these most important issues such as torture, the war on a noun; ie., terror and the continued erosion of our remaining freedoms etc., it will be business as usual or worse.

My country this of thee
Sweet land of property
Of thee I weep
Land where New Orleans died
Land of secret torture flights
From every phone and email spy
Let business rule

I’ve not in anyway been a stumper for Obama, but come on. Gezzz, George Bush is probably wishing that he isn’t him… as narcissistic as Bush is.

I’m still naive enough to have hope for the electoral process, that is, if we (the voters) can get and keep control of it.
